CABARROGUIS, Quirino, September 28 (PIA) -- Typhoon “Pedring,” pounded the whole province of Quirino leaving millions worth of damages in corn, rice, livestock and infrastructure. | |||
Based on the initial damage assessment conducted by the Provincial Social Welfare and development Office and the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Council, around P125 million worth of damages in corn and P 93 million in rice were recorded. | |||
According to Agathon Pagbilao, provincial disaster action officer, they are still assessing the damages in infrastructure. | |||
“Some buildings in the capitol compound such as the Peoples’ mart, Capitol Plaza Hotel, Land Bank of the Philippines and the newly constructed gymnasium were hit by Pedring’s strong winds,” Pagbilao reported. | |||
In Aglipay town, around 93 houses were totally damaged and 221 were partially damaged in four barangays of the municipality, affecting at least 314 families or equivalent to 1,256 persons. | |||
Pedring's powerful winds also toppled electric posts causing power outages in the entire province up to this moment. Officials of the Quirino Electric Cooperative (Quirelco) are still assessing the typhoon damages in the cooperative’s facilities. | |||
Likewise, the strong winds uprooted trees along the national roads which made them impassable last Tuesday. | |||
Telecommunication facilities were also damaged causing communication disruption in some of the areas of the province. | |||
As of press time, classes are still suspended in some schools due to the damages brought by Pedring. (TCB/PIA 2) | |||
